Chapter 193: Bastard

Chapter 193: Bastard

At this moment, Yun Tingying had to admit that his wicked daughter and Huo Tingying, this dog of a man, were truly a perfect match!

Both were extremely arrogant bastards!

Yun Tingying trembled with rage, and Lin Wanqing had to coax him repeatedly to prevent him from rushing over to fight.

"Does President Huo think a few empty words can cover everything up? I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it was indeed your doing, I won't let you off!"

"Do as you please." Huo Tingying didn't take his threats seriously at all.

"Dad, he really didn't do it."

At that moment, a figure walked in from the door.

It was none other than Yun Shumo, who had just returned from the casino.

No one knew where he had been, but he reeked of tobacco and alcohol.

"Finally decided to come back? Are you here to see if your old man is dead?"

Seeing Yun Shumo, Yun Tingying's anger surged even more.

Yun Shumo smiled, "Evil lives for a thousand years, Dad. You'll live a long life."

Yun Tingying: "I'll beat you, ungrateful son!"

Lin Wanqing quickly held Yun Tingying back and glared at Yun Shumo, "Lao San, how can you talk to your father like that? Where have you been these days? Why didn't you come home after returning to the capital?"

"Aren't I here now?" Yun Shumo glanced at Yun Chengdong beside him and smiled, "Congratulations, Lao San. With Eldest Brother dead, the Yun family is yours now."

Yun Chengdong's face turned grim, "Second Brother, watch your words."

Yun Shumo shrugged indifferently, "Just stating the facts."

Then, he looked at Yun Mu and Huo Tingying, "Are you three having a joint interrogation? Don't waste your effort; the Yun family incident wasn't their doing."

Yun Mu thanked him, finally getting to the point after so much talk.

Yun Tingying was slightly stunned, "If not them, then who?"

"The Lanyu Group," Yun Shumo said.

Seeing Yun Tingying's expression, it was clear he had no idea what the Lanyu Group was.

Yun Shumo continued, "The boss behind the Lanyu Group is Huo Jinzhou and Yao'er."

"Are you colluding with them to fool me? How could Huo Jinzhou and Yao'er have the ability to form a Lanyu Group to target the Yun family?" Yun Tingying clearly didn't believe it.

"You don't know yet? Yao'er has become quite capable. She even snatched a piece of land from President Huo last time. She's really generous, making me a lot of money," Yun Shumo said proudly.

Yun Shumo had no reason to lie or defend Yun Mu and Huo Tingying.

Only then did Yun Tingying realize the seriousness of the situation. After a moment's contemplation, he turned and headed upstairs.

"Lao San, follow me to the study!"

Huo Tingying, holding Yun Mu's hand, prepared to leave, but Yun Shumo reminded him, "Tonight, you two owe me a favor. President Huo, remember to repay it."

Yun Mu rolled her eyes.

Huo Tingying: "...How much does Second Young Master Yun want? Just name your price."

"Let it be for now. When I figure out the right amount, I'll tell President Huo."

...

In the old Huo residence, in a room.

Yun Shuiyao sat by the window, nervously staring at the phone in front of her.

As soon as it rang, she answered immediately, "Hello, how did the mission go?"

Upon hearing that the mission had failed, Yun Shuiyao's face changed abruptly, "Failed? How could the assassination of an elderly man in bed fail?"

Wasn't the END organization supposed to be omnipotent?

How could they fail again and again?!

"I want to contact your superior and initiate a second mission immediately. It must succeed!"

But the response was a mechanical female voice, "This mission has failed. To initiate a second assassination, please apply for new instructions and wait for approval."

The voice then cut off directly.

When Yun Shuiyao tried to call back, it was already a disconnected number.

Fuming, she dialed a familiar number. As soon as the other party answered, she yelled, "Why did tonight's assassination fail? What good is the END organization?"

The man on the other end spoke in a low tone.

"The feedback I received is that someone leaked information about the assassination. Yun Mu arrived at the hospital early and stopped it. The organization is currently investigating the leak and won't send anyone for a second attempt anytime soon."

"Leak?" Yun Shuiyao's eyes flickered, and she asked anxiously, "What about Old Master Yun? I just heard that Yun Mu and Si Nanjue have discussed a plan for the third surgery, scheduled for this Friday. Once Old Master Yun wakes up, I'm finished."

The man pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't worry. We still have four days. I won't let the surgery happen as planned."

"What can you do?"

"Don't worry. This time, I will definitely get it done. Just stay at the Huo family and take care of yourself until you hear the news. Also, every mission from the END organization is confidential. Think back, could there have been a leak from your side?"

Her side?

Yun Shuiyao's eyes suddenly turned cold as she hung up the phone and scanned the entire room with her gaze.

Finally, her eyes fell on a Renaissance oil painting hanging directly in front of the bedroom.

When she carefully lifted the painting and saw the listening device flashing a red light on the back of the frame, her expression instantly darkened.

Huo Jinzhou, it was him!

Yun Shuiyao angrily raised the painting, ready to smash it on the ground, but in the next moment, she stopped herself.

A chilling smile curled at the corner of her lips, and she rehung the painting on the wall.

She poured herself a glass of red wine, sipping it slowly while gazing out at the night view outside the window.

When she finally lay back in bed and fell asleep, she dreamt of a scene she hadn't dreamt about for many years.

In the dream, the man who claimed to be her father took her away from that hellish sanatorium.

He held her hand and led her to a beautiful large house, asking her, "Do you want to live in that beautiful house? If you do, you'll be a princess."

She nodded, "Yes. But how can I get in?"

He stroked her head and told her, "Don't worry. Father will definitely let you live there."

Then, he took out a photo, pointing to a girl around her age who looked strikingly similar to her, and said, "From today on, you will no longer be called Yan Qi. Remember, from now on, you are Yun Shuiyao."

Yun Shuiyao?

She nodded vigorously.

At that time, she thought all she needed to do was change her name to live in that beautiful house and become a pretty little princess.

Only later did she realize.

What she replaced was not just a name, but also her fate.

And her life!
